The drummer in this is unbelievably brilliant, made this version the greatest ever by a long chalk.🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the greatest live performance ever.
I've no objection.
He's telling a story about stepping into a little club to get out of the rain and seeing a little band playing jazz and the band calls themselves "The Sultan's of Swing" Harry and Guitar George are members of that band. This song is not about the Dire Straits band.
Playing a pub in Greenwich / Lewisham-ish in the 1970s, a Dixieland horn band must have gone down like a lead balloon with the punters. But f**k it, they were the Sultans of Swing. Can imagine they were inspiring.
@@rikardottosson1272 Oh thanky. You said that much more efficiently and well than I could muster. 😎👌💗
Just think. If he had gone left in the rain instead of right, this could have been a song about the Spice Girls!
Thank you for sharing 👍
He's finger picking! The skill and the sound is simply incredible! And the drummer is out of his mind good! I need only five more words to describe this. THE. BEST. LIVE. PERFORMANCE. EVER!
Maybe drummer miss his mind, but don't miss a beat. :-)
Alchemy Live is the best album. Sultans of Swing and Tunnel of Love are my personaly best of all time. (And Telegraph Road of course,)
Rush....YYZ..live Rio ....Working Man ..live Cleveland
Pink Floyd..Pulse
Just one of the greatest guitar players of all times, with a drummer that takes the percussion up to the same level
I've read that the drummers Father was in the audience to see his Son perform for the 1st time - I'd say it brought out the best in Terry Williams killer performance.
I think each of them were at the top of their game that night - Y it was so magical!
To eleven?....
Mark knopfler is left handed he taught himself to play right handed because it looked better. That’s next level
The best rock band ever. Mark Knopfler’s music is timeless. His later music is so mystical and haunting. A true story teller that captivates the listener. Check it out.
These are the real Guitar Heroes.
Mark Knopfler is a beast! He cut an album last year at 72 yrs old~❤
I was hooked by this band the very first time I heard them & have everything they ever produced, I can't fault any of it. As bands go they were unique & never failed to greatly impress their fans.
i was hooked up by this band when i was 7 years old, that was 40 years ago….still love it!!!!!
Dire Straits are a British band, and Mark Knopfler is a legend and a incredibly guitarist.
He's a monster with a GUITAR IN HIS HANDS
Yes, each member plays remarkably well, while creating a sound that fits together on a higher plane. ''The whole is greater than the sum of its parts'' never was more apt.
One word talent
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising.
It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.🤗
What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having.
Making a living like that wouldn't suck.
I think God invented fast-driving fantasies for THIS song.
Nice??? Not sure you appreciated this enough. The best live performance ever.😊😊😊
Terry Williams on drums was the star of this performance. Hardest worker in the band. Imagine keeping that up for the entire concert, of which this was only one song.
A Masterpiece without a pick! Always amazing😮
3 finger style like banjo pickin .
The best guitarist in the world....smooth....just great
The best drummer and Mark's guitar is pure magic!
I have loved Dire Straits for many years, I'm 75 and I know if I start my day with this version of Sultans of Swing it will be a great one. Best band and best guitarist EVER.
I grew up with the sounds and it's still phenomenal the strength of Mark nophler
Mark Knopfler Vocals and guitar, Hal Lindes, Rhythm Guitar, John Illsey, Bass Guitar, Alan Clark, keyboards, Tony Mandel, additional keyboards and finally, but not least, Terry Williams on the drums.
Mark wrote the songs and brought together a wonderful set of the best musicians of the day.
I saw this, back in 1983 and its still the best, for me, Terry Williams on the drums was the star, you'll never see better live drumming
You have o react to to Telegraph Road from this gig, it was the encore
David Knopler on rhythum guitar.
@@nurofen3940 No. It's not. It's Hal Lindes.
@nurofen3940 no, David left the band in 1980 in the middle of recording the Making Movies Album.
Tommy Mandel
Hal Lindes
They looked like they were having a blast! 🎉
It is not 'nice' but the best recorded live performance ever..
👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Agree!👍
This is one of the finest live performances you are ever gonna see.
C est la plus belle et incroyable chanson chantee en live...Mark knophler un génie de la guitare
Such a great, brilliant band. At 70, I am of an age that was blessed to see them live. Dance, cheer and laugh with them. Awesome. There Charity work was and is amazing.
Couldn't agree more!
Your hearing one if the best guitar players that has ever lived, as far as singing, he’s telling a story about a band, in this case a super tight group
This is Dire Straits, an English band that played from 1978-1992 roughly. They were at the time of this concert, and even more so with their next album “Brothers In Arms” (you must know “Money for Nothing” from that) the biggest rock band in the word.
This song is from their first album from 1978, this version is from Alchemy, a live album from 1984.
The main guy with the guitar and singing is Mark Knopfler, one of the greatest guitar players ever, famous for his fingerpicking style - and the rest of the band are equally brilliant. Knopfler and bass player John Ilsley are the original members and the only ones to in the band the whole time, the others changed a bi over the years.
Mark Knopfler writes all the music, and many songs, like this one, is a situation he experienced. Sultans Of Swing is about a (not very good) pub jazz band he that happened to be playing in a bar he walked into.
All their music is fantastic - the whole of the Alchemy album is as brilliant and breathtaking as this…
Knopfler has done lots of solo albums and a lot of movie soundtracks as well.
a masterpiece
Dire Straits fué un grupo británico...y por cierto, brillante!!!
I agree!
This song came out the year I graduated high school. Tailgate parties on the beach....
Their sound was very unique at the time... And still.
I cant believe you havent heard of one of the greatest rock bands ever. They come from Newcastle in the North of England.
The drummer Terry Williams is welsh. From Swansea.
Welcome to the world of Mark Knopfler and his insane band! Now you know. One of the best guitarists in our lifetime. Not to mention the cool vibe and Maxing storytelling! You are welcome. I am your newest subscriber
Best live performance of this song ever👍
❤ Seen them perform live and man oh mannnnnn
I am jealous lol
L'un de mes groupes préférés. Et mark a compris une chose importante, c'est que le silence est aussi de la musique.
So if you think this was crazy you have to react to Telegraph Road from the same concert. Its as complex as this track. you will love it.
They look like they're having the best time on stage.
Cool new perspective, thank you very much.
Glad you liked it!
that's what a band does. these boys are real players.....you tell them the key , they hear the chord changes and they play. Knopfleer is outrageous. one of the best !
Same concert...Telegraph Road...a true masterpiece.
Awom, this song is about a band - "The Sultans of Swing", that Mark (red jacket) heard south of the River Thames in London. He met the guitarists Harry and George. Mark is playing a a banjo style called "ckickin' pickin". Glad you enjoyed it, I subscribed.
Masterpiece from Dire Straits ❤❤❤❤👍
Another generation just now figuring out what we knew 45 years ago that Mark Knopfler is simply the best ever!
I'm a 60 year old white man. I would like to say what a spectacular reaction this was. I would also like to say that this is not white people music. Because of the different genres of music represented in this song this is all people music . For a society to be totally equal we have to see beyond color to the fact that we are all supposed to be equal . Sure we as one culture versus another have different likes and dislikes but the one thing that brings us all together is the fact that we are citizens of the greatest country the world has ever seen. I'll give you a thumbs up young man. I'll even subscribe. I'll ask only one thing....... that you consider the fact that we are all just men who should be treated exactly the same at all times. Thank you for your reaction and the introduction to what I hope is going to be a great channel. Happy New Year young man .
Thanks so much for this kind comment and i dont take it for granted. My appologies about the joke. Music is for all!
Fine expertise, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Welcome to he "Rabbit Hole" that leads you to Dire Staits" & Mark Knopfler. A Sound of Silence, good band. This version of "Sultans" is considered one of the top FIVE peformances of all time. They have a shorter version for recordings and other performances. They play quite a variety of music. Mark (I believe) writes all (?) of the music performed by the band and also since he went on his own. He can write music of all kinds. As one fan wrote.... he can make a song of the telephone book and It would be a #1 hit! 😅 Check out Sebs Duran's cover for "Sultans" for his opinion on the song that is not extremely complicated as some singing instructors are. Yet it is valid as he played the guitar since he was eight years old. To him he thinks Mark (red jacket) is the best guitar player he has ever heard. I could rattle off a dozen of my favorite songs by them and him but my style may not be the same as your. So.... I won't do that. You'll have to discover him by yourself. I think that would be better. Another artist that is worth mentioning is Dan Vasc (a Brazilian artist) who a lot of people have never heard of, yet he is the #1 artist of RUclips Music.. To get you started, check out "Amazing Grace" for a good example of where his voice can go to. Metal style?. No no no, it is not exactly what you think. 😅 You will like it. Also, Lights of Taormina, Bring Me to Life, Brothers in Arms, Telegraph Road, and Many others. He has over 240 covers. He has an extremely versatile voice. His love is "Metal", but, he can sing in ANY style Anyway, I like how you are doing your Reactions. Keep up the good work!
How can you live on planet earth & not know Dire Straits?
These guys are really having fun...
He knows he nailed it!!
Best version ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks!!
I am happy to know that you love 1 of the greater BAN ever to perform...from Australia
I suspect that you will also like the The Kinks doing a live version of their song "Alcohol". See if you can find the Carnegie Hall version.
More Dire Straits. Thanks. Subscribed. 😊
Mark is the best !
You missed the good old days…. ❤
Good one.
The word 'greatness' is not used often and should not be for a band, but this is an exception and they are deserving of the term "Great"!
I am happy for you again.....Mark Knofler going down as 1 of the great's
You and me both!
Name is Mark knopfler and is considered to be one of the best guitarist ever ! and without a pick just fingers.
This was better than "Nice" itr was fantastic!
And I agree!
Feeling good wom more show reaction to these life ok
England
1977 great talent . Not a bunch of electronic noise. Those were the days
Great Music!
Listen to brothers in arms true guitar weeping
Its great ...ALL PEOPLE music not just " white people music "..
Yes, you are right, he is telling a story, and that is his style...he tells stories. Plus, fyi, he does not use a guitar pick, all that great sound is finger picking.
Not quite sure that calling it, 'elite white people music', really is all that respectful.
Listen to Jim Morrison and doors…you’ll experience that “singing”
oh wow thanks
You are invited! The song is about the once popular, but dwindling "jazz club" scene in the 70s-80s - dipping in to one on a rainy night. The band isn't wealthy or seeking popularity. Teens couldn't really care - this isn't Springsteen or Queen or ZZ Top, they're called the "Sultans of Swing"
try the studio version, my young friend, a masterpiece of clarity.
Live is always better without studio restrictions from others.
Of course he is singing and playing these guys are real musicians and artists unlike today skill free garbage
It was great listening to him do his thing!
Your facial expression tells that you really enjoyed this .
All talk about Marks playing on guitar but what about Terry's drumming? Pure savage
I’m afraid this once in a lifetime performance is lost on you... 🤷♀️
Mark uses 3 finger pickin from Chet Adkins .
ok nice!
The UK as usual.
nice --- is that all you can say LOL
It’s beyond nice …glorious!!
GOOGLE THEM!!!!
Never, ever, ever, ever EVER ?
Just say you never ever heard anything like this…and you won’t ….maybe for a long long long tie
Could you switch screens so we can see more of DS instead of Noddy
British 👍
A very good definition of Dire Straits, I am a big fan of them and I never notice the different music they played that all sync up to make this classic, mind you Mark Knoffler is and exceptionally talented musician. From a white Australian I like it when you said this is elite white music, and no offence was taken my man, you just say it as it is
Playing the electric guitar with 3 fingers. How can it not attract attention? Well, we see it on every corner...
yep it did!
Then consider all 10 fingers and you have Mark playing .
his name is Mark Knopfler , one of the best guitar players ever, a nice Jewish boy. you should also react to Telegraph Road in the same concert.
No he can't be counted as Jewish , his mother wasn't Jewish. She was an ordinary English woman.
ha yea, but but now you are a jew if your mum or dad is jewish, it used to be only the mother.@@AnneDowson-vp8lg
@@AnneDowson-vp8lgMark was born in Scotland
Elite White People Music lol, I love that. Knopfler is one of the main reasons I started playing guitar like 35 years ago (yes Im white too, lol). Always amazes me that he finger picks everything.
If you want to see some more "Elite White People" music with incredible musicians at every instrument and great lyrics, try Rush. Probably the first Rush song you listen to would be Tom Sawyer. Try it!
Tal vez nuestra generación está equivocada, pensando que la juventud puede apreciar a los verdaderos MÚSICOS, esos que no usaban computadoras ni auto tune... sólo existía la genialidad y el talento.
Ojalá ahora hubiera algo nuevo con esas características.😢
Soooo I'm way, way old!?
Your trying to think to much just enjoy the
Music they are fantastic
Recorded I 1979 so now 45yrs old, still gets the same reactiion all these years later .This is from the ALCHEMY tour recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, Lon it was the ENERGY created that made it so spectacular. You should check out the other perfas well. I was lucky enough to be there for this and another 2 other live performances
You weren’t lucky enough to be there for this performance in 1979…..you need to adjust your Time Machine
Alchemy was 1984. The original was 1978/9 😊 Local Hero is on it.
Great musicians from Australia.Really big in the early 80's They are great musicians. Just wait for it all!
They are a UK band They did play in Australia, Mark donated their fee to drug charity, Mark and Alan Clark keyboard both from Newcastle upon Tyne ENGLAND
You sound like Eddie Murphy lol
IF they would, if they feel that they have to........speed it up ONLY A BIT, it'd be OK. TOO fast from the original!!!
Amigo tenho uma recomendação pra você gostaria que você ouvisse umas músicas banda Brasileira| cidade negra|músicas ( Johnny B Good) & (pensamentos) DVD ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I’ve watched more reaction videos to this song than I’d care to admit. This is by far the worst I’ve seen. No respect or understanding of what he just witnessed from the entire band. In his eyes they are all playing different songs. It “just works”. Does that make sense? No sir, it doesn’t. And his name is Mark Knopfler.
Did we watch 2 different videos ?
GREAT WORK…..NOW….PINK FLOYD - COMFORTABLY NUMB~ PULSE CONCERT….
You just didn't get it at all.
First one to say a bit long,another 10 minutes would of done me fine
Well, too many subscribe to subscribe...
Please please please dis the "Subscribe" flash and the bell - it's Very distracting and not necessary. Otherwise - good reaction ❤
thanks... did you subscribe ?
He's singing about his own band 🤘🏴
